Egon Spengler | Ghostbusters Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Egon is hard-working and constantly focused on the paranormal activity of New York. His life revolves around scientific study, in general as well as on ghosts. In his spare time, he collects spores, molds, and fungus.

He doesn't articulate his emotions well and has described himself as "always serious." His childhood may have not been a very happy one, as is suggested his parents were emotionally neglectful; Egon once shared with Ray that they "did not believe in toys"; he described Oscar's playroom as "very cheerful" in a tone that suggested he was aware he missed out on something nice. His parents gave him part of a Slinky once, and he straightened it. Once, during the Vigo incident , Egon flatly informed Mayor Lenny 's porter that the Proton Pack was not a toy. Despite Janine Melnitz ' hints that she was attracted to him, he seemed to ignore her romantic advances, kept quiet, and their relationship remained platonic. However, even though Egon admitted when he was terrified at the sight of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, he stayed with the others, showing bravery and a cool head even in the face of doom. It was his idea to cross the streams, which ultimately saved the world.

Egon also has a dead-pan sense of humor and has been known to be sly, such as after the Ghostbusters' first case, he discretely holds up his fingers to show Peter the amount the Sedgewick Hotel will be billed. Egon has a very dry sense of humor, once jokingly stating that most women would be "more interested in his epididymis," rather than his intellect. He is not immune to anger, as under duress he has been shown to swear twice during the Gozer incident . He even lunged at Walter Peck in anger when Peck ordered them arrested for the disruption regarding the shutdown of the containment grid , despite the fact Peck himself was entirely responsible, and ignored Egon's repeated explanation of why it would be so dangerous to do so.

After the Ghostbusters narrowly escaped from Shandor Island, Ray began enthusiastically asking how it was and if they seen anything cool, Egon simply told him to "Shut up." Egon does, on occasion, smirk and give a wisecrack; such as during their encounter with the Opera Diva ghost during the Shandor incident Egon says "The fat lady's singing!" And while exploring Central Park's Cult Cemetery , Peter says "This isn't the Central Park I'm used to." to which Egon replies, "You still have your wallet?" Generally though, Egon remains largely pragmatic with a straight-to-the-point demeanor. Egon puts few restraints on the scope of his paranormal research. This is evident shortly after Dana Barrett's First Avenue incident, as he conducts experiments in his lab in which he deliberately incites couples to argue. When Egon and Ray discover the Psychomagnotheric Slime , aka "mood slime", he and Ray perform various tests themselves, including shouting verbal abuse at it, singing to it, saying sweet, nurturing things to it, and Egon even sleeps with it to learn its' response.

His efforts, and arguably sacrificing a personal life, pay off, as it his theories and decisions from clear-thinking, that ultimately save his friends multiple times. History Edit Egon was very interested in paranormal phenomenon, even while working with Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman at the University. He and Ray Stantz studied paranormal literature in their spare time and were interested in theories of reincarnation. Egon was usually the first to interview case subjects, adding to their mantra, "we're ready to believe you." Examples were Dana Barrett from her Zuul encounter and her carriage phenomenon with Oscar . Even people Peter called "schizo" always went to either Egon or Ray to describe their paranormal experiences, no matter how far-fetched their stories were. For his part, Venkman once took back everything negative he said about him, rewarding the fellow scientist with his favourite candy bar (a Crunch bar). Egon's only weakness is evidently sugar (or at least snacks), as he is seen, on occasion, snacking. Egon developed the technology behind the P.K.E. Meter , the Proton Pack, the Trap , and the storage facility . He was also aware of the risk of crossing the streams.

He spent a lot of time focusing on the stability of the storage facility, and was concerned about the possibilities of a P.K.E. surge of dangerous proportions. Egon was particularly critical of Walter Peck's actions, and his attitude that the Ghostbusters were responsible for the explosion of the containment unit that occurred when Peck ordered a municipal worker to shut the unit down. After their encounter with Stay Puft, Egon suggested an atypical solution when he recommended blasting Gozer's dimensional portal while crossing the proton streams to reverse the particle flow and send Gozer back to his/its' dimension. Egon once tried to drill a hole in his own head, (A process known as trepanation .) which "would have worked" if Venkman hadn't stopped him. Ghostbusters II Egon as seen in Ghostbusters II Due to the large amount of collateral damage the city of New York suffered from the battle with Gozer, the Ghostbusters were sued by nearly every county and city agency in New York. Additionally a judicial restraining order was enacted which barred the Ghostbusters from performing services as paranormal investigators and eliminators, effectively putting them out of business.

Five years after the events of the first film Egon was working at the Institute for Advanced Theoretical Research and was conducting experiments on human emotions. A negative test involved keeping a couple with marriage problems locked in a room for hours and gradually raising the temperature. A positive test involved a girl in a room with dozens of stuffed animals and a puppy. He was the first person Dana Barrett contacted when her baby carriage took off by itself. Egon recommended bringing in Ray, and they both performed a physical exam on Dana's son Oscar. Egon, along with Peter and Ray were later arrested after digging a large hole under 1st avenue as part of their paranormal investigations to help Dana. During the course of their trial they were found guilty of willful destruction of public property, fraud, violating their judicial restraining order, and malicious mischief by judge Stephen Wexler (whom Egon said was known as "The Hammer"). While angrily insulting the trio judge Wexler inadvertently released the ghosts of the Scoleri Brothers ; two murderers he sentenced to death by the electric chair.

During the chaos judge Wexler dismisses the charges against the Ghostbusters, and rescinds the judicial restraining order allowing Egon, Ray, and Peter to capture the ghosts, effectively putting the Ghostbusters back in business. Egon had a dry sense of humor, of which he used on Peter to bewilder him, and smirked at his friend's cluelessness on what the word "epididymis" was. Egon primarily worked with Ray, both of whom were still living at the Firehouse , conducting research on the pink slime . Still very scientifically minded, Egon seems to have loosened up a little bit, letting his sense of humor show and even giving Dana a smile and Peter (who was carried away with photographing Vigo's portrait), a knowing smile. Ghostbusters: The Video Game Dr. Egon Spengler as seen in Ghostbusters: The Video Game Egon becomes significantly more 'hands-on' during the course of the video game. He and Ray instruct the Rookie in the use of the Proton Pack and its eventual PCS (Paranormal Countermeasure System) upgrades.

Over the course of the game, it becomes evident that he was somewhat traumatized by their exhausting trek up the stairs of 55 Central Park West . While in the alternate dimension of the library, Egon is heard to groan, "Oh no," and when Ray asks if he saw something scary, Egon replies, "Stairs, lots of stairs.." Egon still collects spores, molds, and fungus. When the Ghostbusters return to the Sedgewick Hotel, Ray reveals Egon was once a licensed coroner in the past. [1] He still has a minor interest in it as a hobby. [2] Secondary Canon History Edit Roughly in the 1970s, Egon witnessed a car accident involving his friend Eugene Visitor . Eugene was hit by a car but vanished without a trace. It was one of several events that got Egon interested in supernatural phenomena. In reality, Eugene somehow captured Death in his bag and teleported to 20 years in the future. During his undergraduate years in college, studying abroad, Egon learned the Swedish language while he was researching Gjenganger and studying Draugr in Sweden.

[3] [4] While studying abroad, Egon became interested in the Rauoskinna . He invented the P.K.E. Meter to aid him in his search for the book. He managed to collect some strong related readings in northern Europe but ultimately decided it would be better to leave well enough alone and suspended his search. He never closed his investigation and it became something of a cold case. [5] [6] [7] Egon attained several degrees in various scientific disciplines. [8] When the Ghostbusters were banished by Koza'Rai , only Egon suffered from the effects of chronological displacement. It had an adverse effect on his personality manifesting as a form of cognitive dissonance. He also began to speak in third person. Egon adopted the tyrannical guise of the Great Defender and protected the Outer Colony of Mars from Exploding Manifestations . He automated the colony's defenses and initiated a police state. After Ray knocked him out twice, Egon came back to his senses in the present. Egon quickly deduced Koza'Rai's plans to turn Earth into a Netherworld and told the team Rachel Unglighter was not a student of his.

While Egon, Ray, and Winston distracted Koza'Rai and his army, Peter and Rachel toppled the nearly reassembled Stonehenge and pulled all non-living beings back to the Netherworld. Egon continued to create new additions to the team's arsenal, including Ectoplasmic Glasses and Arm Mounted Proton Packs . After saving some Necrotic Slime , Egon was able to quickly rig a "zombie radar" to track Zombies , controlled by Britt . During the Infestation, he was mainly concerned with safely neutralizing the caustic properties of the slime which was achieved with the team's other problem, Poltergeists . After Ray had a weird dream, Egon analyzed him with the Aura Video-Analyzer and discovered his brain was not quite in sync. To compound matters, Ray's alpha waves were behaving like a seismograph during an earthquake. Egon concluded the dream was a precognitive episode and wished to examine Ray's brain, at Ray's suggestion, with an MRI. According to his calculations, Egon predicted the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man would return by the weekend.

While going over data from his instruments and researching what could be possessing Jim Silver , Egon discovered a new entry forming out of thin air in Spates Catalog . However, the Gozerian Terror Bear returned. During the bust, Egon donned the Boson Pack and easily destabilized it with a few Boson Darts. After the Idulnas incident, Egon wrote a computer program that calculated an almost random pattern of words that positively stimulated the brain. He ran a sample in Newer York Magazine. A month later, Peter observed the effect in action. A young woman ran up to Egon in public and asked him to sign her chest. Egon planned on publishing a paper on the reactions once he sorted through all the data. After the Schenectady case, the ambient P.K.E. was still a lot higher than it should be. To compensate for the lasting increase, Egon modified the power of the Proton Streams but the Ghostbusters continued to have a more difficult time on standard cases. Egon concluded the spike was not related to Gozer's recent manifestation nor Idulnas' presence, it was something more potent.

For a period of three days, Egon adopted a Polyphasic sleeping schedule and tried to figure out what the problem was. Once research reached an effective standstill, Egon went to Delgado's Gym and ran six miles. After running into Janine and meeting her boyfriend, Roger Baugh , Egon returned to the spot where he thought he saw Eugene Visitor and took scans. 20 minutes later, he got a ping. Egon took Ecto-1a to Belleville in New Jersey and discovered Eugene alive and well in the home of his father, Mr. Visitor . Egon tried to explain to Eugene that he was endangering the natural order of things and the physical plane by keeping Death in his bag. Eugene countered he deserved as second chance and refused to release Death until Egon returned with concrete proof about his claims. While continuing research into the augmentation of ambient P.K.E., Egon began to suspect it was not exclusive to Manhattan. The Ghostbusters set off on a road trip across America taking on several jobs. During a private job in New Orleans , Egon and the ghost of Marie Laveau shared an interesting conversation about what defines being alive or not.

Laveau contended love mattered and gifted Egon with some powerful Gris-Gris for when he was ready to be "alive." In New Mexico, Egon met Special Agent Jim Savage and the two had a heated ideological clash about the paranormal and extraterrestrials. While investigating the Ghost Smashers , Egon concluded it would only take a day or two for the atomized ghosts to reconstitute and wreak havoc on the city. During his analysis, Egon asked Janine if she was trying to make him jealous by dating Roger. He told Janine he had noticed how she would date men who shared one or more superficial characteristics with him whenever her advances on Egon failed, only to leave these new men when she lost interest and resume aggressive flirting with Egon. Egon told her made a flow chart of this process once for contrast while studying the haunting of a chapel in Yonkers. Janine reacted angrily, telling Egon that who she dated was not all about making him jealous and stormed off. After she left, Egon told himself he may have ironically become jealous, and would run an analysis when there was time. In the battle against the Megaspook , Egon had enough of Ron Alexander and choked him.

Months later, in February, Egon was taken by a blue tentacled demon while on the second floor of the Firehouse. He was awoken by Peter and found the Ghostbusters were imprisoned in another dimension . Egon and Ray dismantled Ray's Proton Pack and planned to rip a hole through the dimensional fabric in order to return to New York. However, it was likelier to cause the universe to fold over and destroy both realms. Egon was elected to rip the hole. The plan was a success and the guys found themselves in Times Square. Janine was elated to see them and kissed Egon on the lips. After the Ghostbusters were freed of the Collectors, Ray and Egon elected to delve into pioneering research into extradimensional theory and went over an exhausting compilation of data. Egon even went consulted with a witch doctor on Bleecker about barring the Collectors from the physical plane of existence. While conducting an experiment, Egon was interrupted by Roger Baugh. While upset, Egon eventually noticed Roger had Yellow Slime on him. They returned to Roger's Apartment had found Janine floating and covered in ectoplasmic discharge. Egon's attempts to neutralize the slime with the Slime Blower failed.

Egon and Roger took Janine back to the Firehouse. Egon dropped his Gris-Gris on Janine but she remained unchanged. However, three Draugar manifested behind them. Egon asked how to dispel the curse but was told Janine's soul was forfeit for cheating against the Grendel weeks ago. Egon then threatened them. When they refused, Egon activated the Wall-Trap and captured two of the Draugar. Roger Baugh intervened and before Egon could stop him, the Draugar agreed to show them what happened to Janine. Both were subjected to a form of astral projection and transported to Janine's mind. They worked their way from the fringes to where the Draugar were with Janine. Egon attempted to talk them into releasing Janine. However, the ghosts decided to kill Egon and Roger and offer their souls to Hel in addition to Janine's. While in a memory of Peter's apartment from New Years Eve 1989, Egon realized the power of mind made things tangible. They quickly ventured to a memory of the Firehouse where Egon donned the Boson Pack. Egon once again issued a threat to release Janine or else.

The lone Draugar from before engaged Egon but was dispersed. The other Draugar returned Janine, Egon and Roger to their bodies. The Draugar declared they would have their revenge but Egon activated the Wall-Trap again and captured them all. Instead of discussing what all just happened, Egon went down to the basement to check on the Containment Unit. Concerned with his well being from the Draugar battle, Egon began a thorough analysis. After several days and no sleep, all tests indicated he was in perfect health. Egon was even more concerned and wanted to know why nothing was wrong. Peter tried to get him to go out on a maritime bust involving the John Milton but Egon was adamant about studying himself. Janine attempted to talk some sense into him, but Egon made a chart. Egon finally found evidence his perceptions were mis-calibrated upon return to his natural form, a gamma wave variance of .00076%. Before he could start to corroborate it, Egon answered a call from Winston who was in Las Vegas . After insisting the Arm Mounted Proton Pack would never jam, Egon quickly guided Winston on how to troubleshoot the pack's issue which was just a loose wire.

As standard precaution, Egon and Kylie ran a series of tests on Dana and Louis in the wake of Tiamat 's continued presence on the physical plane. They came to the same conclusion both were still displaying signs of the Terror Birds possessing them. Egon sprayed them with the Miniature Slime Blower but that proved to be a miscalculation. The Terror Birds manifested and chased after them. Egon and Kylie raced to the footlockers in the garage bay and armed themselves with Arm Mounted Proton Packs. Egon opened fire but obliterated Janine's computer instead. While Kylie declared she was telling Janine, Egon blasted a Terror Bird. Observing the lack of damage, Egon ordered Kylie to maximize the power output on her pack. Ten minutes later, the Terror Birds were neutralized. Egon got a Trap from his locker and shared his theory about modifying it to compensate between the difference in frequencies of a human soul and a possessing entity. With no time to think of alternatives, Egon and Kylie went to work. Egon managed to successfully extract and trap Mot from Louis Tully's body. They moved to exorcise Dana.

Egon and Kylie ran more tests on Dana and Louis and confirmed they were back to normal. Egon moved on and was pleased to study the effects of Ray's direct mental contact with Gozer. However, he and the others watched as Ray became possessed and rose up in the air. After Winston sacrificed himself to get rid of Tiamat, Egon examined him and realized his heart was no longer beating. Peter took one of Egon's medical cocktails, a mixture of Atropine, Adrenaline, and other things, and injected it into Winston. While Peter raced after the very animated Winston, Egon helped Ray manually vent the Containment Unit. Tribeca was spared from being turned into a smoking crater but a few ghosts were still released. During the firefight against Ellen Gold, Egon broke away and searched for a Trap, obscured by the Wander Hills Manifestation. Eventually, he found one and recaptured Gold along with the Crybaby Ghost. At some point, Ray and Egon constructed a Dimensional Inverter to detect and warn of fallout from a dimensional breach. [9] [10] On September 14, Egon was one of the personnel contracted to help Special Agent Ortiz deal with Hedylogos in St.

Louis, Missouri. He believed Hedylogos' power was similar in nature to pheromones and collected some Ectoplasm for the Gateway Arch to test the theory post-incident. Egon realized the situation at the Emmanuel Baptist Church was bigger than he thought due to the presence of Possessed Humans and four anthropomorphic constructs. Stranger when the constructs were left behind after Chi-You retreated. He examined his P.K.E. Meter and noticed levels were declining. That and a lack of aggression from them led Egon to conclude they were something else. Winston, in turn, called a cease fire. Egon continued scanning the Turtles and April O'Neil . He confirmed they were also emitting low-level phase variance at the cellular level which matched, in part, with Chi-You's readings. He believed they were out of sync with the dimension and part of the breach Kylie reported. After introductions, Egon suggested they reconvene at the Firehouse where there was equipment that could be used to track Chi-You and Casey Jones . Donatello 's skepticism towards the existence of ghosts and inclination towards an alien theory caught Egon's attention. Egon made it clear ghosts existed and aliens didn't.

When news of an incident at the Madison Square Garden reached the Ghostbusters, Egon felt time was better served building a teleportation unit but Leonardo pointed out not all of the Turtles were mechanically inclined. Egon revealed the energy readings he detected off the Turtles and April were degrading, readings that were crucial in them returning home to their dimension. He estimated they had 72 hours at the most. With the added task of severing the bond between Chi-You and his thralls , Egon agreed with Donatello's suggestion of utilizing low-voltage pulses. Hours later, Egon presented modified Arm Mounted Proton Packs to the Turtles and instructed them to press the hand attachment to each thralls' chest. Meanwhile, Egon and Ray worked on building an Interspatial Teleportation Unit with April and Donatello. Once Casey was brought back, Egon examined him and determined he was back to normal. Egon went back to work on the teleporter with Donatello and suggested April work with Ray on an EMP device to take out Chi-You's thralls all at once. After several hours, Egon and Donatello made strides in recreating a functional teleportation unit in the Firehouse basement.

Undaunted by the proximity alarm being tripped, Egon continued and had Donatello power on the unit. However, it became apparent Egon miscalculated the intense drain the teleportation unit would have on the containment grid's power supply. They rushed to stabilize the grid before it ruptured and caused a horrific explosion. Egon rerouted power from a panel and Donatello located several blown boards in the Containment Unit's control panel. They managed to avert disaster while the others captured Chi-You. Sparing any extraneous goodbyes, Egon stated it was time for them to go through the portal back to their proper dimension. Egon then adjusted the coordinates for Winston to dump the Trap holding Chi-You in Proxima Centauri . The Ghostbusters returned to the Firehouse from a case and discovered parallel versions of themselves let Slimer loose by accident but retrapped him. They talked. Egon scanned and poked them. Egon suggested their first course of action should be a full battery of tests. With enough biometric data, they could be sent home. They went to the basement to look at the Interspatial Teleportation Unit.

Egon and Ray compiled biometric data off the parallel Peter and Winston in order to isolate the frequency of their home dimension. A couple hours later, after double checking their findings, Egon confirmed they achieved a stable frequency and the parallel team could return home. P.K.E. readings take by Ray in the alternate Ghostbusters' dimension indicated Proteus had a potential susceptibility to quantum interruption. Egon held out a Proton Grenade and noted the yield had to be boosted. The Egons armed their Proton Grenades and tossed them at Proteus, effectively stunning him. The Ghostbusters caught him in their streams but as a result Proteus had to show them the future eight times. The Ghostbusters were knocked out. During reconstruction at the Firehouse, Egon determined the integrity of the Containment Unit was maintained but that the damage to the building caused by Proteus would require a massive amount of money and effort to repair. He, himself, worked a lot of extended hours and wasn't sleeping much. He proposed they should talk about decentralizing operations and make use of the Ghostbusters' other properties. They were approached by Brent Mitchell to investigate a bizarre case of a woman named Karen Pearson who woke up missing an eye.

The culprit, the Sandman , focused on Egon as his next target because of his habit of avoiding sleep. Ray, Peter, and Winston escaped their dream states and found Egon writing equations and notes in a room that looked like a limitless white board. The Sandman soon appeared to them. Egon conjured the Boson Pack and fired at him. The others joined in. Sandman conjured walls separating Ray, Peter, and Winston from himself and Egon. He proceeded to remove Egon's eye with a curved blade while admitting this was the first time someone fought him and caused him pain. After Ray, Peter, and Winston destroyed the barrier, Egon quickly instructed them to shoot the Sandman's hourglass totem. He was dispersed and the Ghostbusters regained consciousness on the physical plane. Back at the Warehouse, Ray determined that Egon only suffered superficial damage to the supraorbital foramen then shared his findings on the Sandman. Egon soon feel asleep. During the bust at the United Nations Building , Egon's left leg was injured when the Werecat Ghost expelled chemically volatile ectoplasm on him. A $15,000 surcharge was added to the invoice to cover Egon's injury.

As Egon was placed in the back of an ambulance, his P.K.E. Meter oddly registered something, but the paramedics were more concerned with treating him than handing it to him. Some new theories came to mind as he received medical attention and he wanted to explore where they led. [11] He contacted Kylie and asked her to bring reference material, including the expanded Spates Catalog and three volumes of Kemp's Paranormal Encyclopedia, and six months of citywide P.K.E. scan logs. Kylie dropped them off at his apartment and tried to inquire about these "theories" but Egon rushed her into the hall. Egon got sick from some couscous he ordered from a new Moroccan restaurant down the block and was unable to attend the Ghostbusters' meeting with Erland Vinter a few days later. [12] As Egon continued with his recovery and investigation, he declined to take part in any extensive field work including a trip to Europe as part of a deal struck with Vinter. In particular, he refused to take any jobs with stairs.

[13] While the other Ghostbusters took a private jet to Venice , Egon visited the New York Public Library in search of a copy of "The Johansen Argument" but it was missing. He called up Ray's Occult and asked Kylie if the store had a copy but it appeared to have been already sold. He promptly hung up. During a confrontation with the Plague Doctor Ghost , Ray shot his way into a basement and discovered a Poveglian Artifact , a parchment drenched in P.K.E. with a rune drawn on it and with faint Swedish written underneath. Ray took photographs and emailed them a few hours later to Egon for a translation. They held a conference call. From his apartment, Egon confirmed the readings on the artifact matched both the readings he picked up at the United Nations and readings he took years ago in Sweden. He admitted it unearthed something of a "cold case" of his and confirmed he would continue with his investigation while the others were dispatched by Vinter to another city in Europe. Egon bid them to be careful, he didn't like where this was all heading. Egon looked at one of his old journals, open to a drawing of the exact rune on the Poveglian artifact.

Melanie informed Janine she wanted to borrow Egon and Kylie for a FBI investigation that just came up. She gave Melanie two cases to work with them while she was in town for the day and suggested she ask them for their help then. During the bust at The Olympia Restaurant , Egon prematurely blasted a register but Melanie jinxed it and one of the Olympia Restaurant Ghosts shot coins out of it. Egon tried to back out from helping Melanie on her case due to his vital research on a Scandinavian spell book. Melanie countered it was a four hour flight to Puerto Rico and he'd get plenty of reading done en route. On the off chance he was severely incapacitated during the Puerto Rico case, Egon recorded his research on the Rauoskinna for future reference. He was interrupted by the ghost in his research tank. Egon reminded him of the security measures in his apartment. He was surprised to see the ghost knew a certain gesture. On May 12, Melanie, Egon, and Kylie arrived at a hospital in Cayey , Puerto Rico.

After hearing Miguel Castillo 's account of a woman in white , Egon posited they were dealing with a type of manifestation related to the Weeping Woman in White lore that included La Llorona from Mexican legend. They spent the next few hours searching locations where the ghost was sighted. After nearly exhausting every lead, the ghost appeared and tried to drown Kylie. Melanie was about to jump in after her but Egon cautioned her since Proton Packs were never tested for use in water. They watched as the ghost and a Proton Stream erupted from the surface, followed by Kylie. Despite extreme pain in his thigh muscle, Egon hurried after her with the others. It attacked Kylie with possessed earth. She used her Trap to trick her into vacating the earth. Melanie and Egon opened fire and wrangled her. Egon noticed she was almost strong enough to pull free because of his Arm Mounted Proton Pack's lower output. He threw out a Trap and captured her. They later found the Ghost Dog and determined it was just trying to warn people of the other ghost. Kylie and Egon returned home while Melanie stayed behind to verify they trapped the correct entity.

After the Cayey case, Egon got an epiphany while going over some data from recent encounters. He made some adjustments to the Psychokinetic Defibrillator to give it more offensive capability to efficiently force out a possessor while minimizing any harm done to the human host. Egon was interrupted by a visit from Loftur Þorsteinsson . Loftur presented a copy of "The Johansen Argument." Egon saw through his story about being referred by Eduardo Rivera and blasted him with the Defibrillator. However, no damage was done. Egon realized he wasn't possessed. Loftur sent Egon flying across his room. Loftur formally introduced himself. Egon released the Gulper Ghost and it slimed Loftur. Egon called him a coward for trying to manipulate the Ghostbusters into finding the Rauoskinna. Loftur admitted he should have directly asked the them for help then offered a deal to Egon, help him locate the book. Egon refused. Loftur atomized Egon and mused they might talk again once he's thought about his answer. [14] The Ghostbusters and staff reviewed the security footage.

Peter was nonchalant about Egon's disappearance and recalled when the four of them were kidnapped by the Collectors a few years back. Ray speculated he could have been sent to a parallel dimension or a sub-quantum pocket realm. Peter stressed they should explore all options before concluding the worst. Kylie and Melanie searched his apartment and came across his recorder. It pointed them to Logbook 2714 where he kept his research on the Rauoskinna. However, Kylie had a difficult making out his notes. It was decided they would recruit the Egon from the parallel dimension they had recently met. He confirmed Egon's research and their recent encounters indicated they were being manipulated into finding the Rauoskinna. Kaia May arrived and verified it further. She passed along an ultimatum to the Ghostbusters. If they delivered the Rauoskinna, Egon would be restored. Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime Edit Egon discovered the supernatural activity, caused by the Relic of Nilhe , had a predictable migratory progression southeast from its point of origin. According to his analysis, Egon believed it was headed to the Sedgewick Hotel .

However, with the team exhausted, Egon suggested it was time for the junior team to take on their first solo mission. Some time later, with testimony from Janosz Poha , Egon allowed the junior team to follow a preemptive strategy and go after other shards of the Relic. Animated Series Edit He appears in the cartoon with a blonde yellow hair color and red glasses. Much like his movie counterpart he is the egghead of the group. One noted difference between him and the movie version is in later seasons when he plays more of a leadership role than he did in the two films. The following is part of the animated canon universe for this character: Primary Canon On page 19 of Ghostbusters Annual 2015 : On panel 2, to the upper left of Egon is his "Print is dead" line from the first movie, "Epidiymus" line in the second movie, and "We eat gods for breakfast" line at the end of The Video Game.

On panel 2, to the middle left of Egon is "Oswald Donsbach," a nod to the inspirations for the name 'Egon Spengler' - Oswald Spengler and Egon Donsbach On panel 2, left of Egon's boots is "Balloon will pop," a nod to the four dimensional balloon that was originally part of the Twinkie metaphor seen in drafts of the first movie and explained in annotation on Making Ghostbusters page 104 On panel 2, left of Egon's boots is Thai Mexican," to ideas Egon proposed to Ray for take out as they analyzed the photographs of Vigo in the second movie. On panel 2, in the lower right is a nod to Egon admitting to straightening part of a slinky to Ray in Ghostbusters II. In Ghostbusters International #3 , on page 20, Egon's Vista credit card is visible on the table. The credit card number is 4024653159. Egon and Ray were once convinced the Eiffel Tower was engineered to be some kind of primitive Containment Unit.

Gallery Harold Ramis: Ghostbusters' Dr Egon Spengler was comedy's GrandDude | Film | The Guardian Film blog Harold Ramis: Ghostbusters' Dr Egon Spengler was comedy's GrandDude For children of the 1980s – including some of today’s biggest film stars – he revolutionised US comedy and made some of our favourite films of all time, writes Hadley Freeman Share on Messenger Close To have created one of the most influential comedies of all time takes talent and luck; to have created at least three takes nothing less than genius. Harold Ramis , best known to millions of 80s kids as Dr Egon Spengler, who has died at the far too young age of 69, leaves behind an incomparable work of seminal comedies from the late 20th century.

As well as Ghostbusters, which he co-wrote with Dan Aykroyd, he co-wrote and directed the unsurpassably brilliant Groundhog Day. He also created early 1980s classics including Stripes, National Lampoon’s Vacation and, of course, Caddyshack which, for years, defined American comedy. Proving he could more than keep up with comedy trends, he later directed episodes of the The Office, as well as the 90s mobster comedy, Analyse This. His films have all aged as well and as charmingly as the man himself - not something one can say about many early 80s or even 90s comedies, or those involved with them. Pinterest But perhaps Ramis’ greatest achievement was the love and trust his colleagues felt for him. No one who met him or interviewed him had a bad word to say about him, which is not, to be blunt, something one says about many comedians who emerged from his era.

Bill Murray – who made six films with Ramis and, it’s fair to say, knows funny from funny – understood that he needed Ramis as his straight foil, or his “focused composer”, as director Ivan Reitman put it when he cast them in Stripes. The two were estranged for several years after Groundhog Day, an estrangement which Ramis compared to having “a hole in my heart”, but were reunited before his death. Pinterest Ramis helped to guide Aykroyd into creating the best comedy of the 80s when Aykroyd was griefstruck by the death of John Belushi and wanted to write a semi-serious film about ghost visitations. When Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen spotted him at a film festival when they were promoting 40 Year Old Virgin, they followed him around like a pair of lovestruck geeks and begged him to appear in their film, Knocked Up, which he did, charmingly, as Rogen’s stoner dad, upending his early professorial persona. Modern comedians ranging from the Farrelly brothers to Adam Sandler to Will Ferrell have all expressed the debt they owe to Ramis.

Minimates Central Reviews - Dr Egon Spengler and Library Ghost Click here to go back to the new Minimates Central Dr Egon Spengler and Library Ghost The Toys R Us exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates have been flying off the shelves. Here is a review of the wave 1 set of Dr Egon Spengler and the first ghost seen in the Ghostbusters film, the Library Ghost. Packaging The packaging for this set is very typical fare at this point, with control art-type drawings on the front of the box, photos of either figure on the sides, and pictures of the entire Toys R Us set and a blurb about each figure on the back. The Figures Dr. Egon Spengler [editor's note: This is the same Egon Minimate which appeared in the first Ghostbusters boxset . I reviewed that set, and we thought it would be good to give the character another look over with a different reviewer.] Portrayed by co-writer of the film Harold Ramis, Egon is the brains of the Ghostbusters team. This Minimate is clearly Egon, but only because of the glasses.

Apart from this, as with the other Minimate Ghostbusters, I personally don�t see much of Ramis here. The hair is combed straight back, and is a bit "poofy", but is way too conventional for Egon. In the films, his high, crazy professor hair is one of Egon�s defining characteristics, but the hairpiece for this Minimate is not extreme enough. Further, the hairpiece should reveal more of Egon�s forehead. The modified control art picture of him on the front of the box shows more forehead, and the likeness really improves because of this. This figure has extremely thick, dark eyebrows. Whereas Ramis also has dark eyebrows in the film, they were never Groucho Marx-extreme as they appear on the Minimate. Egon�s expression is stern and focused, befitting the character, and his glasses are a tampo on the face (mostly black), not a separate piece. Egon�s uniform is similar to Gooey Ray �s, but with different paint apps obviously, being mostly light gray with a darker gray representing the Proton pack straps and his belt. This uniform is also is a different sculpt from Ray�s.

First, it reflects a much skinnier character, since Ray had a slight gut and a thinner belt that curves down under his stomach. Additionally, there are different parts sculpted around the belt area. Ray has a radio sculpted on and a hook for his goggles (these goggles are included with later Ray releases, but was not released with the "gooey" incarnation previously reviewed), but Egon does not. Instead, Egon has a different tab for connecting a PKE Meter on his right side, and some coiled wire on his left side. Egon has black hands (representing his black gloves), the Ghostbusters symbol on his right arm, the word "SPENGLER" on his name tag on the front, and extra, sculpted, darker gray elbow pads. Egon is wearing a black t-shirt under his suit, and unlike Ray, you can see Egon�s black boots pretty well, which have laces on the front. The Proton pack is precisely the same as the one previously reviewed with Courtroom Venkman , only this time being attached to the Ghostbusters "flight suit" instead of the formal suit that Courtroom Venkman wears.

This is a very cool, incredibly detailed representation of the Proton pack, and really is a highlight of this line. The PKE Meter is another cool addition to Egon�s Minimate, being a very recognizable interpretation of this well known ghost detecting device. As mentioned above, the PKE Meter slips onto a peg on Egon�s belt, if you don�t want to put it in his hand. In conclusion, the likeness issue (including the hair) is the main problem with this Minimate. This is a great-looking toy, he just does not look much like Ramis. Of course, this can be excused with Minimates, which by their nature are exaggerated caricatures of existing characters and people. However, I can�t help thinking that a crazier, more exaggerated hairpiece revealing more of his forehead would significantly improve this figure�s likeness to the actor it is meant to represent. MMC Score - 7 out of 10 More pictures Library Ghost The ghost packed with Egon is perhaps the 3rd most well known ghost from the film (after Slimer and Mr. Stay Puft) - the Library Ghost from the opening scene at the New York Public Library.

This is the Library Ghost after the Ghostbusters attempt to "Get her!", with the evil, teeth-gnashing face. I was initially hoping that she would have a reversible head, with a more serene face on the other side representing this ghost as she was reading or shushing the Ghostbusters. However, the head of this Minimate is translucent (with a purple tint), and so a tampo on the other side might show through, creating a distraction. As such, this is probably the best move by DST. Surely, if you had to pick one of the expressions we saw Library Ghost with for a toy, the evil, monstrous one is the way to go. The face is really evil-looking, with exaggerated eyes, mouth, canine teeth, and protruding eyebrows representing the famous shot when she attacks. Library Ghost has an appropriate, old woman hairpiece that is tied into a bun on the back and which is sculpted in an almost translucent white color. Library Ghost is mostly cast in translucent purple, with the exception of the head and claw hands, which are cast in a clearer, purple-tinted plastic. She has a very basic tampo on her chest block that gives her a little bit of detail.

The Human Torch "flaming" shoulder piece comes with Library Ghost, cast in the same color purple as her body, and fits around her neck. This represents either ectoplasmic residue, or her shirt being tattered and floating. She also comes with a purple dress piece that fits over her legs. Her sole accessory is the book that she is reading when the Ghostbusters encounter her. In conclusion, this is a very nice Minimate, and is really essential if you are a fan of the Ghostbusters film. As I noted earlier, she is amongst the most well-known ghosts from the film, but she also looks great and gives the Ghostbuster Minimates another superb ghost menace to be posed with. MMC Score - 8 out of 10 More pictures Ghostbusters Reboot Video Reveals Dr. Egon Spengler Still Exists Ghostbusters Reboot Video Reveals Dr. Egon Spengler Still Exists 1k Shares B. Alan Orange | 9 months ago The new Ghostbusters is said to take place in an alternate universe from the original 1984 classic. And none of the original Ghostbusters characters exist in this new plane of existence.

But the legendary cast will be back for cameos, playing different characters this time around. One actor who isn't returning is Harold Ramis , who passed away in 2014 before the reboot started production. Now, it seems his character Dr. Egon Spengler may actually exist in this new reimagined world after all. At least Egon exists in the eyes of the Sony Coporation. Sony has released a new tie-in video, which claims the company is putting the exciting new Proton Packs on the market for average citizens to purchase. In this unique sales pitch video, the announcer makes the startling claim that both Dr. Jillian Holtzmann , the character played by Kate McKinnon in the reboot, and Dr. Egon Spengler helped create the proton pack together. Here's the spiel as laid out in this faux commercial. "Sony Corporation announced today that after thirty years of research and collaboration with Dr. Jillian Holtzmann and Dr. Egon Spengler, it has successfully developed the proton pack, designed to capture content from a parallel dimension.

The Proton Pack is equipped with a state-of-the-art, miniaturized superconducting synchrotron, which accelerates injected protons from a hydrogen plasma cell. Superconducting temperatures are maintained by a liquid helium reservoir, and an active cryocooler ensures that operational time vastly exceeds that available from a cryogen dewar alone. Adaptive beam-steering technology guides the proton beam to an ergonomic wand, which doubles as a beam-halo tuning cavity to provide maximum down-range accuracy. The backpack form factor allows built-in psychokinetic grounding to the user's spinal column, eliminating spectral noise feedback loops. The proton pack benefits from Sony Corporations acclaimed products. Weighing only 6.66 kilograms, the device is both water and slime resistant." This is kind of cool and also very confusing on some levels. While having Dr. Egon Spengler still exist in the Ghostbusters reboot's alternate timeline is a great way to honor Harold Ramis ' legacy, it also doesn't make sense that the rest of his Ghostbusting pals have been wiped from existence. It isn't known at this time if Spengler will be mentioned in the movie itself, or if this is just a fun shout-out.

Either way, it is bound to seriously confuse and confound hardcore fans who are already upset about the all-female cast. Perhaps this new Ghostbusters isn't abandoning the idea of the original scientists from the 1984 classic. The first official trailer does begin with a nod to their work, and the time they saved New York from a serious spectral invasion. Have we been lied to all along? Will the original Ghostbusters show back up to help the ladies save the day? Advanced reviews of the film do not mention this happening, and we've been told since day one that this is a complete reboot that abolishes all that has come before it. Who knows what is going on here? Most likely, Sony is just having fun at fans' expense. But that doesn't sound like it will help the studio's cause. Some speculate that this could be a huge misfire for Sony, and has the potential to be one of this summer's biggest bombs. However it turns out, it can't be as bad as Ghostbusters 2 . However this shakes out, check out this unique proton pack video, which hints that Dr. Egon Spengler's legacy lives on! To learn more about the new proton packs, you can click HERE . Enjoy.

You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results. Dialogue[ edit ] Venkman: Alice, I'm going to ask you a couple of standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family been diagnosed schizophrenic? Mentally incompetent? Librarian Alice: My uncle thought he was Saint Jerome. Venkman: I'd call that a big yes. Uh, are you habitually using drugs? Stimulants? Alcohol? Librarian Alice: No. Venkman: No, no.

Just asking. Are you, Alice, menstruating right now? Library Administrator: What has that got to do with it? Venkman: Back off, man. I'm a scientist. Stantz: You know, it just occurred to me that we really haven't had a successful test of this equipment. Spengler: I blame myself. Venkman: So do I. Stantz: Well, no sense in worrying about it now. Venkman: Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back. Spengler: There's something very important I forgot to tell you. Venkman: What? Spengler: Don't cross the streams. Venkman: Why? Spengler: It would be bad. Venkman: I'm fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing. What do you mean, "bad"? Spengler: Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light. Stantz: Total protonic reversal! Venkman: Right. That's bad. Okay. All right. Important safety tip. Thanks, Egon.

[The Ghostbusters have just completed a hunt in a hotel] Venkman: We came, we saw, we kicked its ass! Hotel Manager: Did you see it? What was it? Stantz: [holding up the steaming ghost-trap] We got it! Hotel Manager: What is it? Will there be any more of them? Stantz: Sir, what you had there is what we refer to as a focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm, or a Class Five full-roaming vapor. Real nasty one, too! Venkman: Let's talk seriously, now. [Spengler holds up four fingers behind the Manager] For the entrapment, we're gonna have to ask you for four big ones. $4,000 for that. But we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, [Spengler holds up one finger] and that's only going to come to $1,000, fortunately. Hotel Manager: $5,000? I had no idea it would be so much. I won't pay it. Venkman: Well, that's all right. We can just put it right back in there.

Stantz: We certainly can, Dr. Venkman. Hotel Manager: No, no, no, no! All right! I'll pay anything! Venkman: Thanks so much. [ EPA agent Walter Peck is visiting the Ghostbusters' home base, but is frustrated at their stonewalling] Peck: And where do you put these ghosts, once you catch them? Venkman: In a storage facility. Peck: And may I see this storage facility? Venkman: No. Venkman: Because you did not use the magic word. Peck: What is the magic word, Mr. Venkman? Venkman: Please. Peck: [chuckles] May I please see the storage facility? Venkman: Why do you want to see the storage facility? Peck: Well, because I'm curious. I want to know more about what you do here! Frankly, there have been a lot of wild stories in the media and we want to assess for any possible environmental impact from your operation! For instance, the presence of noxious, possibly hazardous waste chemicals in your basement! Now you either show me what is down there, or I come back with a court order.

Venkman: You go get a court order! And I'll sue your ass for wrongful prosecution! Peck: You can have it your way, Mr. Venkman. [While in jail, the Ghostbusters are studying the blueprints of Dana's apartment building and uncover some startling facts] Spengler: The structure of this roof cap is exactly like the kind of telemetry tracker that NASA uses to identify dead pulsars in deep space. Stantz: Cold riveted girders with cores of pure selenium. Venkman: [to jailbirds suddenly looking over the blueprints] Everybody getting this so far? So what? I guess they just don't make them like they used to, huh? Stantz: [slaps Venkman up the head] No! Nobody ever made them like this! I mean, the architect was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko! Venkman: Ray, for a moment, pretend that I don't know anything about metallurgy, engineering, or physics, and just tell me what the hell is going on. Stantz: You never studied. The whole building is a huge super-conductive antenna that was designed and built expressly for the purpose of pulling in and concentrating spiritual turbulence.

Your girlfriend lives in the corner penthouse of Spook Central. Venkman: She's not my girlfriend. I find her interesting because she's a client and because she sleeps above her covers. Four feet above her covers! She barks, she drools, she claws... Spengler: It's not the girl, Peter, it's the building. Something terrible is about to enter our world, and this building is obviously the door. The architect's name was Ivo Shandor. I found it in Tobin's Spirit Guide. He was also a doctor. Performed a lot of unnecessary surgery. And then in 1920, he started a secret society. Venkman: Let me guess: Gozer worshippers? Spengler: Right. Venkman: [to Stantz] "No studying"! Spengler: After the First World War, Shandor decided that society was too sick to survive. [notices more jailbirds listening in] And he wasn't alone; he had close to a thousand followers when he died. They conducted rituals up on the roof, bizarre rituals intended to bring about the end of the world, and now it looks like it may actually happen!

Venkman: [singing] So be good, for goodness sake! Whoa! Somebody's coming! Somebody's coming! Stantz: We have to get out of here. We've gotta get a judge or something. Zeddemore: Hey, wait a minute! Hold it! Now are we actually gonna go before a federal judge, and tell him that some moldy Babylonian god is gonna drop in on Central Park West and start tearing up the city?! Spengler: Sumerian, not Babylonian. Venkman: Yeah. Big difference. Zeddemore: No offense, guys, but I gotta get my own lawyer. Stantz: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Venkman: Yes it's true. This man has no dick. Peck: Jeez! [charges at Venkman; everybody tries to pull them apart] Mayor: Break it up! Hey, break this up! Break it up! Peck: Alright, alright, alright! Venkman: Well, that's what I heard!

[The Ghostbusters try to convince New York's Mayor to let them go and face the ghost threat all over the Big Apple] Zeddemore: I'm Winston Zeddemore, Your Honor. I've only been with the company for a couple of weeks, but I gotta tell you: these things are real. Since I joined these men, I have seen shit that'll turn you white! Venkman: Well, you can believe Mr. Pecker... Peck: My name is "Peck." Venkman: ...or you could accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"? Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor. Real wrath-of-God type stuff! Venkman: Exactly. Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave! Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria! Mayor: Enough, I get the point! And what if you're wrong?

Venkman: If I'm wrong, then nothing happens! We go to jail; peacefully, quietly. We'll enjoy it! But if I'm right, and we can stop this thing... Lenny, you will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters. [Mayor slightly smiles and the Archbishop of New York nods in agreement] Walter Peck: I don't believe you're seriously considering listening to these men! Mayor: [contemplates; to officers while pointing at Peck] Get him outta here. [Gozer materializes in front of the Ghostbusters in the form of a woman.] Stantz: Gozer the Gozerian? Good evening. As a duly-designated representative of the City, County and State of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin, or to the next convenient parallel dimension. Venkman: That oughta do it. Thanks very much, Ray. Gozer: Are you a god? Stantz: [looks at Venkman, who nods] No. Gozer: Then... DIIIIIIIIE!

[sends the Ghostbusters sprawling with lightning bolts] Zeddemore: Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES!" Gozer: Sub-creatures! Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, the Traveller has come! Choose and perish! Stantz: What do you mean, choose? We don't understand! Gozer: Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor! Venkman: Oh, I get it. Real cute! [to the others] Whatever we think of— if we think of J. Edgar Hoover , J. Edgar Hoover will appear and destroy us, okay? So empty your heads, don't think of anything. We've only got one shot at this. Gozer: The choice is made! Venkman: Whoa! Hold on! Gozer: The Traveller has come! Venkman: Nobody "choosed" anything! [turns to Egon] Did you choose anything? Spengler: No. Venkman: [to Winston] Did you? Zeddemore: My mind is totally blank. Venkman: I didn't choose anything!

[All three slowly turn to confront Ray] Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there. Venkman: [sternly] What? What "just popped in there"? Stantz: I- I- I tried to think... Spengler: Look! [They all look over one side of the roof] Stantz: No! It can't be! Venkman: What is it? Venkman: What did you do, Ray?! Zeddemore: Oh, shit! Stantz: [resigned] It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man . [Watching the gigantic Stay Puft Marshmallow Man stamping towards them] Venkman: Well, there's something you don't see every day! Stantz: I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft! Venkman: Nice thinkin', Ray. Stantz: We used to roast Stay Puft Marshmallows, on the fire at Camp Waconda. Venkman: Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What have you got left? Spengler: Sorry, Venkman.

I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. Stantz: Funny, us going out like this: killed by a hundred-foot Marshmallow Man! Venkman: We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft is okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York - we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble! Spengler: I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways. We could reverse the particle flow through the gate. Venkman: How? Spengler: [reluctantly] We'll cross the streams. Venkman: Excuse me, Egon, you said crossing the streams was bad. Stantz: Cross the streams... Venkman: You're gonna endanger us, you're gonna endanger our client. The nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog. Spengler: Not necessarily. There's definitely a very slim chance we'll survive. [team ponders] Venkman: I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it! Zeddemore: This job is definitely not worth eleven-five a year!

dr egon Spengler | Tumblr dr egon Spengler Ghostbusters: Egon Spengler [INTP] OFFICIAL TYPING by Lex / Co-Mod Introverted Thinking (Ti): Egon is a scientist, and as a scientist, his first and foremost goal in life is discovery. As soon as they find a ghost, he is eager to experiment on it, study it and try to understand it better. Egon has a detached, rational way of looking at things: he is the first to suggest alternative solutions to the Ghostbusters’ problems. He cautions Ray against his more impulsive actions, and doesn’t share what’s going on inside his head, merely acting on it. Extroverted Intuition (Ne): He is a scientist, after all, so it’s natural that he has a flair for brainstorming. Egon is open to anything and everything, though slightly less excitable about it than Ray (a Ne-dom). Alternative ways, alternative careers, alternative responses to affection, Egon is not a man of steady goals, instead one who decides to go with the flow and deal with life as it comes at him.

Egon can, at times, be slightly crazy, with his head off in the clouds above. Introverted Sensing (Si): Egon is a bit…predictable in his life, going about the same things every day. Catching ghosts, experimenting on them, dealing with his friends and retreating into his own head? All just a day in the life of Egon Spengler, who has a great memory for scientific facts, statistics, names, etc. Whenever in a difficult situation, Egon needs to know all the details before he can perform outside of his comfort zone, and his social tact is quite lacking… Extroverted Feeling (Fe): …but, that does not at all mean that he is rude! Egon is probably the most respectful, tactful of the Ghostbusters, just very clumsy at showing his emotions (especially when it comes to Janine). He fights for the sake of the people of New York, is smart enough to know the broader social implications of pulling the lever (the downfall of the economy, the deaths of a countless number of innocent people, etc.) and, surprisingly, very charismatic.

Question: Dr Egon Spengler appears in which film?
Answer: Ghostbusters
